pancreatic function and reactive hypoglycemia
Pancreatic function refers to the activities and efficiency of the pancreas, an organ responsible for producing hormones like insulin and enzymes that aid in digestion. It involves the regulation of blood sugar levels and the production of digestive enzymes. Reactive hypoglycemia, on the other hand, is a condition characterized by an abnormal drop in blood sugar levels after consuming a meal high in carbohydrates. It occurs when the pancreas produces an excessive amount of insulin in response to the consumption of these carbohydrates, leading to symptoms like dizziness, weakness, and confusion.
